Pacquiao eyes Malaysia for next bout, set for May or June

Manila

PHILIPPINE boxing idol Manny Pacquiao said his next opponent would be either world champion Lucas Matthysse or Danny Garcia in Malaysia in either May or June, after rejecting an undercard offer to face Mike Alvarado.

Pacquiao told ABS-CBN television that his camp had narrowed the choices down to World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champion Matthysse of Argentina, or the American former WBA super-welterweight and World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champ Garcia, who was unbeaten until 2017.
